Yes you do need the rails for your case. These would have been required even
if you
Were going to install a 5-1/4" drive.  Your universal kit just bolts on to a
3-1/2" drive
to make it the same size as a 5-1/4" drive.  Any mounting brackets required
by your
case are extra.

By 'doesn't work' I mean that the mounting kit is in a sense
too small.  It doesn't span the space between the hard drive
and the bay.

(I didn't try it, but perhpas I could use the mounting kit to
mount a 3. 1/2" internal floppy drive in the 5 1/4" bay.)

Am I missing slide-in rails for the bay that I need to
attach my 'universal' mounting kit to?
